What About Me: The Rise of the Nihilist Spasm Band
Almost every Monday night since 1965, a group of Canadian men get together to make a cacophony of experimental noise-music on homemade instruments. Now in their sixties and holding down day jobs as doctors, teachers, librarians, etc., the members look back on their 35+ years in music, a career that has included their annual Nihilist picnic and No Music Noise Festival appearances. Film maker Zev Asher documents it all, using home movie/video footage, TV appearances, interviews, and new footage of the band on the road.
